No. 200: Misdreavus

Looking like Ponyo's evil dark twin, the 200th Pokemon appears!

Finally, another Ghost type. While Haunter and Gengar are quite awesome, I'd been waiting for another ghost, maybe one that isn't weak to psychic.

So Misdreavus delivers on that regard, although it is otherwise nothing special. Just a kinda floating lady head. I like her coloring, though. The way the dark transitions to purple at the tips really suggests a kind of nebulous quality that befits a ghost nicely.

and HEY! she's also the only ghost in gen 2, making her the 4th ghost total in two generations! That's just shitty. Why did Gamefreak hate ghosts so much? At least the 5th gen more than made up for it.

But we'll get there when we get there.

Overall: 6/10
